Chapter 199: Prince Sun's Lair
The waning moon is like a hook, and the bleak moonlight shines obliquely into the peach forest through the layers of branches and leaves.
When did the Queen Mother of the West leave, Yin Tiancheng didn't know, his mind was still immersed in the thrilling scene just now.
Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind Yin Tiancheng: "Hey, you are so leisurely, but I am fighting to the death with others!"
Yin Tiancheng slowly turned around and saw Lu Wu smiling evilly at him.
"Who is the enemy you knocked away?" Yin Tiancheng asked subconsciously.
"Who else, of course, is that. ”
Yin Tiancheng suddenly knew that Ah Ruo had come to Ganzao Mountain at night again, but it was a pity that she was scheming, but the Queen Mother of the West saw through everything, and used the sound of the piano to lead herself to the peach forest in advance.
At this moment, Lu Wu's nose moved, and he said in surprise: "No, how did I smell warmth in this ghost place?"
"If you had come a little earlier, you would have met the Queen Mother of the West here. Yin Tiancheng did not hide it.
"What, Niangniang has been here?" Lu Wu wondered: "How is this possible, why didn't she come to me, but saw you first?"
When Yin Tiancheng told everything that happened in the forest, Lu Wu was out of breath with laughter.
He said in a playful voice: "You deserve it, you really deserve it, and you don't look at your opponent if you pretend to be forced! If you are respectful to her old man, you will get more than just Panhua now." ”
As soon as Yin Tiancheng wanted to answer, a thought popped into his mind, and he immediately said to Lu Wu: "Let's go, let's go to the scripture hall!"
"What are you doing there so late?"
Yin Tiancheng explained to Lu Wu while running: "The Queen Mother of the West said that the gold ornament given by the Turtle Demon is a topographic map, and we only need to compare it with the map of the world's Kyushu treasured in the Transmission Hall, and we can know the hiding place of the mirage." ”
Lu Wu nodded, and his body turned into a tanuki cat, lying on Yin Tiancheng's shoulder.
After a while, the two of them came to the scripture hall, and the disciple on duty saw that Uncle Tai came late at night to urge him to take out all the maps, and hurriedly lit the lamp and took Yin Tiancheng to the library on the second floor.
After sending the disciples away, Yin Tiancheng covered the door and looked at the map piled up like a hill and was stunned.
He realized that the Queen Mother of the West had only given a general clue, and if the maps were compared, the efficiency would be too slow, and maybe by the day of the Gathering Immortals Conference, he would not be able to find the mirage's lair.
There is not much time left for him, tonight Ah Ruo sneaked into Ganzao Mountain, she must have been ordered by the old demon to snatch the gold ornaments, although she failed, but soon there will be a second time, Yin Tiancheng does not want innocent disciples to be involved in this matter.
Therefore, he must learn the secret of the gold ornament as soon as possible, so that he can bring the mirage to justice.
At this moment, Lu Wu took the gold ornament from his hand and said, "Bring the map of Cangzhou, the hiding place of that demon must be near us." ”
Yin Tiancheng asked in surprise, "Did you get some clues when you investigated before?"
"No, I also just figured it out, the few places he harmed were all in Cangzhou, and it was impossible for him to run too far. ”
After hearing this, Yin Tiancheng thought about it carefully, and immediately found that the Murong Mansion, Feiyu Gate, and Gucang Sect, which had been infested by demons, were all within the scope of Cangzhou as Lu Wu said!
"Yes, such a simple truth, why didn't I think of it earlier!"
Yin Tiancheng's heart lit up, and he quickly pulled out the map of Cangzhou, spread it on the table, Lu Wu put the gold ornament on it, and pointed one of the corners at Ganzao Mountain and compared it.
"The scale of the map doesn't seem right. Yin Tiancheng sensed the problem, and he found that the other four corners were not facing Murong Mansion and the Gucang Sect.
Lu Wu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and moved slowly on the map, and suddenly a brilliant golden light lit up from the map, it slowly expanded, until the two corners of the gold ornament were aligned with the above two locations, Lu Wu retracted his hand, and looked down at the other two positions with Yin Tiancheng.
When Yin Tiancheng saw that one of the corners was referring to Pingyang City, he thought to himself, even Liu Xi was Ah Ruo's apprentice, which showed that Sun Wangye had already put his black hand into Tianxin Pavilion.
After excluding Tianxin Pavilion, Yin Tiancheng and Lu Wu set their sights on the last corner.
But they never dreamed that the location pointed to by the last corner turned out to be Maple City!
Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh: "What a cunning demon, he has been moving under my nose!"
"Haven't you heard the saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"
After a pause, Lu Wu said coldly: "I only now understand why Wang Yuan was able to discover the whereabouts of the mirage. For humans, a lifespan of about 100 years is too short, and a mirage can do it without being discovered by you with a little attention. ”
Yin Tiancheng nodded, and said with deep sympathy: "You are right, Wang Yuan is different from us, he has cultivated for thousands of years, and some of the time is to observe the abnormal movements around him, so he can find some clues about the mirage." ”
"Maple City is more prosperous, Mirage is a cautious youkai, it is impossible for him to hide in the city, it seems that we are going to the suburbs to search. ”
As he spoke, Lu Wu frowned, and then said: "The area on the outskirts of the city is not small, and this demon has a natural mirage as a cover, so if we want to find him out in a short time, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”
"Don't look for it, I know where he's hiding!" Yin Tiancheng laughed and said, "After doing it for a long time, it turns out that this demon lives in Baiyun Temple!"
"Are you so sure?" Lu Wu hesitated and said, "I have been to that Taoist temple before, and there is nothing wrong with the Taoist temple except for the fake Taoist priest who cheats money and sex. ”
Yin Tiancheng suddenly asked, "Do you remember that bastard named Chu Fangxiong?"
"Why do you want to mention this little role?" Lu Wu looked at Yin Tiancheng with a puzzled expression.
"Because I know now that Chu Fangxiong went to the yamen to steal Wang Yuan's body at the behest of Prince Sun. ”
"There is this possibility, ordinary people who will do such a dirty thing, only the mirage wants to destroy the corpse, which is very in line with his insidious and cunning character. ”
Yin Tiancheng said with a smile: "Actually, the first time I went to Baiyun Temple, I found that something was wrong there, in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, I used a long line to catch big fish, and I wanted to observe for a period of time before making a decision." ”
"You brag, it's normal for me to inquire a few times, and you can see the problem once you go?" Lu Wu still didn't believe it.
Yin Tiancheng told him eloquently, and Lu Wu was shocked when he heard it, so he believed his words.
It turned out that after Chu Fangxiong was killed by the monster sent by the mirage, a famous official found a green calyx plum that had been trampled on from the sole of his shoe.
This kind of flower is not a local flower tree, only when the Baiyun Temple was built, it was transplanted from other places and planted a few trees, and Yin Tiancheng at that time noticed that Chu Fangxiong had stayed in the Baiyun Temple for a period of time before stealing the corpse.
But when he went there, Bai Feilong, the master of the temple, and the Taoist priest in the temple actually said that Chu Fangxiong had never returned to the Taoist temple, Yin Tiancheng knew that these guys were lying, but only a broken flower could not prove who in the temple colluded with Chu Fangxiong, so Yin Tiancheng did not reveal the slightest tone, but decided to go to Ganzao Mountain to investigate the case.
But who would have thought that he would follow the vine and enter the Flying Feather Gate, and he inexplicably stepped into the path of cultivating immortals, and after a long time, he forgot about it, and it was not until today that Yin Tiancheng remembered this matter, so as to conclude that the hiding place of the mirage demon was Baiyun Temple.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, I'm still too sluggish. At that time, as soon as I entered the Baiyun Temple, several stinky Taoist priests took turns to use non-flowing illusions against me, it turned out that these ghost tricks of theirs were all mirage!"
"According to what you say, you won't be wrong, Baiyun Temple must be the nest of the mirage!" Lu Wu's eyes glowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Without further ado, I'll open a portal now and go directly to Baiyun Temple, and catch this demon off guard!"
Yin Tiancheng looked out the window, and then said: "It's about to dawn, let's take a break, and tomorrow night we will go to attack Baiyun Temple and take the life of that mirage!"
The matter was settled, and at midnight the next day, Lu Wu quietly came to Yin Tiancheng's room to meet him.
This time, Lu Wu did not cast a spell to open a teleportation array, but asked Yin Tiancheng to ride on the heavenly horse Lushu and fly directly to Fengcheng.
He also formed his true body in the night sky, and his golden wings fluttered in the wind, and he followed closely behind Yin Tiancheng and flew straight to his destination.
He has a good intention in this hand, after all, Yin Tiancheng does not know how to control the clouds and fog, in case of a fight and the mirage Sun Wang Ye takes advantage of the chaos to fly away, Yin Tiancheng can also ride Lu Shu, and together with Lu Wu, form an outflanking momentum in the air and block the retreat of the monsters.
Lu Shu's flight speed was extremely fast, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to reach the sky above the Baiyun Temple.
Yin Tiancheng looked down, the Baiyun Temple in the dark night, only sporadic lights came out from a few rooms, the lights were hazy, and when you looked closely, it looked like an illusory object.
Immediately, Yin Tiancheng was taken aback, and he found that all the eaves of Baiyun Temple were covered with a faint layer of blood.
Looking up again, the crescent moon above his head has turned into a blood moon at some point, and the white clouds bathed in the moonlight look a little terrifying and ghostly.
Yin Tiancheng couldn't help frowning and said, "The celestial phenomena are abnormal, I'm worried that the mirage has set up traps for us to drill." ”
"What's there to worry about, today next year is the death day of this demon!" Lu Wu didn't pay attention to these little tricks, he smelled a breath of anger wafting in the air. After a little discernment, Lu Wu knew that this was the mirage emitted by the mirage.
It seems that this old demon is also immersed in sleep like ordinary people, and he doesn't realize that danger has arrived, and these mirages are just the remnants of his unconscious drifting, and they can't interfere with Lu Wu at all.
The two quietly landed by the wall, and after Yin Tiancheng tied the horse, he jumped with Lu Wu and entered the courtyard.
Seeing that no one had discovered their whereabouts, Yin Tiancheng proposed: "Let's search one house after another and catch turtles in an urn!"
Lu Wu shook his head and said: "This is not appropriate, one is a waste of time, and the other is easy to alarm others, in case that demon is aware of it, he is likely to escape." ”
Suddenly, Lu Wu laughed evilly and said, "Why don't you go and set a fire, so that you can gather all the Taoist priests together in a short time." ”
"That's a great idea, so we can search for a mirage that has transformed into a human form. ”
Yin Tiancheng took a deep breath, and then raised his hand, and in an instant, a fireball roared out and smashed into a wing room on the right!
With a "boom", the wing room caught fire and burned, Lu Wu still thought that the matter was not big enough, and opened his mouth to blow out a gust of wind, and the fire burned more and more by the wind, and after a while, it became a monstrous flame.
Lu Wu was afraid that the Taoist priest in the temple would sleep like a dead pig, so he immediately pulled his throat and shouted: "It's on fire, come and put out the fire!"
After a few screams, everyone was awakened, and they ran out to put out the fire one by one in disheveled clothes, and the scene became a mess.
Yin Tiancheng and Lu Wu hid in a dark corner with the help of the cover of flowers and trees, and probed out to observe everything.
After looking at it for a while, Lu Wu said softly, "I seem to smell a breath of death." ”
"Why don't I smell the dead? Could it be that the mirage is doing evil again, and it is too late to dispose of the corpse after killing someone?"
"I don't know, but it's a strange feeling. Lu Wu asked, "Have all the people at the scene arrived?"
"I don't think so, at least I didn't see the figure of the White Wyvern. ”
This reminded Lu Wu, he secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly said to Yin Tiancheng: "You stay here, I will fly directly to the air to monitor Baiyun Temple." If that demon wants to escape, he won't be able to escape my eyes. ”
After speaking, Lu Wu turned into a gust of wind and went straight into the sky, hiding himself in a thick cloud, only revealing his eyes to observe the movement below.
At this moment, he had made up his mind, and when anyone dared to leave the White Cloud Temple, he would shoot a thunderbolt from the sky, slashing this guy to the ground on the spot.
Yin Tiancheng was not idle, at this time he saw that the Taoist priests had extinguished the flames, and immediately flew out, shouting: "Everyone, please stay!"
Everyone looked at Yin Tiancheng who suddenly appeared in surprise, but no one answered, because they all saw the murderous intent in Yin Tiancheng's eyes.
But after all, someone knew Yin Tiancheng, and after a young Taoist priest panicked, he boldly said: "It turned out that Lord Yin came, I heard that you abandoned your official cultivation of immortals and became a master of the Dao who saw the head and end of the dragon, why did you come to my Baiyun Temple in the middle of the night?"
Yin Tiancheng said with a hippie smile: "Who said that I went to cultivate immortals? In fact, it was just a quiet night and couldn't sleep to wander around to see if there were any lawbreakers doing bad things. ”
"Then did you happen to pass by Xiaoguan and saw a fire in the temple and came in to put out the fire?"
"You're really good at talking. Yin Tiancheng's face changed, and he said coldly: "I won't hide it from you, I put this fire!"
"Hehe, adults are really joking!" everyone forced a smile, but their hearts were shocked.
"Who is joking with you, I have tracked the fugitives so far, you call everyone here for me, if there is one less, I will tear down this ruined temple!"
To Yin Tiancheng's surprise, no one moved at the scene, on the contrary, their eyes gradually became dull.
